Effect of Phosphorus and Biofertilizers on Growth and Yield of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

A field experiment was carried out during rabi season of 2022 on Chickpea crop at Crop Research Farm, Department Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj, (U.P India). The soil the experimental plot Sandy loam in texture, with a pH 7.2, that neutral EC- 0.26 (dS/m), organic carbon (0.72%), available N (178.48kg/ha), P (27.80kg/ha) and K (233.24kg/ha). treatments consisted 3 levels Phosphorus (40, 50 60kg/ha) Biofertilizers (Rhizobium sp., Pseudomonas striata, PSB) control. laid Randomized Block Design (RBD) 10 replicated thrice. present investigation to find “Effect Growth Yield (Cicer arietinum L.).
